A Note from the Doggie Dee-va

Helping dog owners build a better relationship with their dogs through training and behavior modification is what I strive for with every session. I want dog owners to have the same kind of relationship I have with my dogs —a FUN ONE WITHOUT STRESS!

All of my dogs are rescues which were given up by their previous owners for countless reasons, including hyperactivity and destructive behavior. These types of behaviors are the most common that I deal with, although I also help modify aggressive behavior (mainly those dogs who suffer from fear related aggression). And now? Well, they’re not perfect (no dog is!) but they’re pretty darn close. Zoe is a heck of an agility dog, Oxford could out do anyone in a trick competition and Marty is a heck of a frisbee player!

I train dog owners to be more attentive to the needs of their dog, by understanding their behavior, and way of thinking, better.

My slogan, “You don’t have to be RUFF to teach your dog stuff” was inspired by all the dogs I have been able to teach without the use of physical punishment —just kindness, determination, and a tasty bag of treats!

I don’t speak dog, and my dogs surely don’t speak English. But we get pretty close to somewhere in the middle.

Sincerely,

The Doggie Deeva

We were looking for a little bit of help leash training our 10 month old Basset Hound, Annie. We were referred to Applause Your Paws by our pet sitting professional Grisell Figueredo of Pet Steps Sitters. Our dog trainer, Mike, was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed our session and feel confident we now know how to continue working with Annie on her leash walking skills. Looking forward to more training in the future!

We found Applause Your Paws dog training online when we were looking for dog trainers in Miami for our 9 month old Bull Terrier puppy named Gator. I wanted to let you know how wonderful our private lesson with Mike and Gator went tonight. We are very pleased with the techniques and success of what Mike told and showed us. He is a very good dog trainer and we feel much more empowered to know how to help our dog Gator be a better part of our family. Thank you so much. We are looking forward to your group training classes. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!
